Hammerglass provides unique explosion protection

Förslöv, Sweden

With the growing threat and risk of attacks and explosions in densely populated urban environments Hammerglass Explosion Protection offers a unique, explosion-resistant solution compatible with the façade of the building concerned, comprising a steel frame that will hold the glazing panes firmly in position even in a powerful explosion.

The need for advanced security glass in windows, doors and glass partitions is also increasing. In a powerful explosion, conventional glass panes will splinter even at a great distance from the explosion, often with serious splinter injuries as a consequence. In properties located in the immediate vicinity of the explosion even splinter-free panes will be forced in, despite being made from toughened or laminated glass. In sensitive urban locations, in government buildings, embassies, banks and the like, Hammerglass offers highly effective protection which will not fragment or splinter in a blast.

Explosion protection panels are available in a number of different configurations and thicknesses, depending on the required level of protection. Hammerglass Explosion Protection is a glazing solution compatible with the building façade, comprising a 12mm Hammerglass glazing pane mounted in a sturdy steel frame. The steel frame holds the whole package in place even in a powerful explosion. This splinter-free solution is thinner, and weighs substantially less, than comparable solutions based on normal glass.

Hammerglass offers customers confidential advice at the planning stage. In order to guarantee workmanship of the highest quality, Hammerglass Explosion Protection is installed exclusively by certified installers. Installation does not entail any damage to existing architecture. All Hammerglass glazing panes are laser marked with the company's logotype and production number, thus ensuring traceability for internal quality assurance and safety in the event of any warranty issues.
